BLUETTI 120w PANEL: bit.ly/3z7z5Il use code HOBO100 for $100 OFF CANADA bit.ly/3clc379 TO CHARGE JACKERY: You need the MC4 to 8mm adapter hobotech.tv/amazon/#Solar-Adapters
Too bad the code doesn’t work on the EU market (DE website) too. Great review, thank you. I am interested in a future purchase of a jackery 500, this panel + adapter and also a tent with sabre link flex dometic kampa led lights. Do you think a 12v car port splitter like the one you have referenced in your store would run both that led band strip and the dometic 55im fridge at the same time on the single car 12v port of the jackery 500? Would rather do that if sustainable than run the lights or the fridge off of the AC port since the inverter would kick in and I’d lose more power / drain the battery faster, from my understanding at least :) Anyway thank you for your reviews, great and useful channel and information, best of luck. I will try to use your code as much as possible if any EU based sites accept it.
I was literally looking at your channel for a review of this exact product last week and was sad that there wasn't one. Your timing is impeccable. Thanks professor!
Thanks Professor, just ordered a set, using the discount code, direct from Bluetti. We already have the AC50s thanks to your review last year. It is a great little power supply for off-grid camping. You are the one-stop-shop for all things solar. Keep the videos coming.
Thank you for your explaining things so well and providing a real life review. I just purchased through your link. I do hope you get credit for the sale. I bought directly from the manufacturer because they have a better deal than Amazon!
So glad you reviewed these panels. (I had seen the bundle on Bluetti's site for the AC200P with 3 panels, and I am thinking that is the route I am going to go.) I like the fact that they have grommets and the MC4 connectors and no USB ports to foul. The cords have a nice length, also. Those panels looked good after 30 days in the dirt!
Been using 2 sets since first of the year. On my AC200 They work great. I added 2 100w hqst (renogy) have all 4 in series and get 350-380w no problem on nice clear days. Have gotten as much as 430w/5+ amps I only wish I'd gotten 4 sets instead of 2 during the crowdfunding.
I bought this Bluetti 120 to charge my Jackery 1000. almost 2 months ago. ( I couldn't splurge for the ACP200p) Wish I had this coupon code then. So tempting to buy another. I chose it for voltage output in the event I ever do upgrade to ACP200P and need to buy another two 120w panels for recommended charging. Much easier to store than Jackery panel in a van. This panel is perfect and powerful. Knowledge gained from previous Hobotech vids tipped me off on the quality of these solar cells. Thank YOU TOM--
1:20. Oh my freaking gosh, you showed true work right there. An alternator, a starter battery and HOUSE batteries. You're killing it, lovely. THAT'S a winner. Man.
I like how Bluetti forces Jackery to improve, however slowly. Along those lines, can I assume there will be some more review activity around March 17th?
I got my SP120 panels late yesterday and got a chance to try them this morning. 9:45AM, temperature 36 F., clear sky. I lined it up with the sun, hooked it up to my AC50S and got 110 Watts. I checked it a little while later and the input on the PS was reading 112 W. That's what I'd call a great set of panels! I got the $100 discount by using HOBO100 on the Bluetti site. These are somewhat pricy but sure put out the power.
Ok am I the most retarded?? I just realized that rick and morty is patterened ater doc and marty. Back to the future just don’t compare me to a box of hammers I will certainly lose
Just wanted to say really impressed by Bluetti customer service ordered a second 120 watt panel apparently was out but sent one already preboxed in a amazon box
Hi hobo tech, I used my 80 watt Suaoki solar panel today with the new bluetti ac50s and got 64 watts at the midday sun in NY. The Suaoki solar comes with all the adapters so no problem with the hook up. The solgen came with 80 % charge and it took around 6 hours to max up. A 120 or 200 panel would be better and Bluetti has the heavy gauge mc4 connector, but for now I have a backup solgen that I can charge one to the other . waiting for the view on the new 200 bluetti solar panel I thought I saw yesterday, very expensive bye for now.
I just ordered mine, thanks for the discount! I've been testing my new AC50s the last few days and I'm very happy with it. It seems to have blown the fuse to 150w ac outlet in me rig when I attempted charging from it, but I'm still troubleshooting that. Thanks again!
Haven't seen the video yet because I am still working but already prepared it in a new tab 😊 Just what I was waiting for, thanks! ps: thank you for using also the metric system 😊
I already have 2 Maxoak panels that I got when I ordered the 200P. Not sure if I need a third one. I am tempted though. Now the Renogy caught my attention.
Thanks, great info; we had previously purchased the Bluetti 50s and are very happy with it. We placed an order on these solar panels. Hopefully it works well with the Solarontheside connection on the outside of our Forest River R-Pod. Again, your informative videos are great!
0:45. And that's one of the issues right there, a solar panel that falls over. Should they make attachments to vehicle wheels or etc to not fall over.... I believe so!
They gotta get more creative with the balances needed to keep the panels at an angle and on the ground, or tires or even on wall/ vehicle sides by hooks. Spikes and rods for a soft ground or rods and chains by tires. GO HOBOTECH
Professor! Thanks for always doing great reviews! And getting us a discount to. Just ordered one for my have in my Ham Radio Go kit! If you ever come out to Pahrump,NV or want to attend Front Sight I will send you for free. Thanks for all your doing for all of us. Sorry your roof top solar needed repair.
Do you have a review on the Bluetti SP200 panel? Also, and more importantly for me, what do you recommend for solar panels that are likely to last the longest, in terms of lifespan and build quality? I value your reviews and opinion. Thanks for this one.
Wet wipes Tom, wet wipes for that professional touch up before a review. I recommend the Star Wars or Mad Max wipes link and $20 off code in the description.
Give this a double 👍👍. I have two of their panels already from way back . They are great. Been wanting a couple more///MORE JUICE😎///// thanks for the discount code. I knew there would be one. So you know what I did🤩🤩🤩💯🎩
@@HOBOTECH Yes higher price for portable & water proof, nevertheless high price. Dokio I hv cheked out. They r cheaply made. I wanted to support u Professor by commenting on UA-cam and as always, much appreciation for ur product reviews! I always learn from u. 👍🏽 🤗
This panel looks so portable and compact. I just love this! I would like to know what I would need to do to use this with my zamp port on my camper. I heard that zamp does something to the wiring to make it work for their panels and it would need to be modified. Also what would I do for a charge controller if it isn't on this panel? I didn't see the parts that I think I might need on your store page.
Hi! Is it better to use panels and charging stations constantly? Will it deplete the usage life? Or better to store for emergency use? Thank you for the detailed reviews, codes and the kitty cameo!
Just got a Jackery 300 because I loved the specs (for my needs), especially with the bi-directional usb-c as another option for charging. Now I’m torn between the SP-120 + adapters or the Saga 100 for my first panel. Which do you actually “like” better and why?
This panel is more bang for the buck. The Jackery panel is quicker to setup and teardown but also falls down easier in the wind because it is taller. If you have a 300 this panel would work better for you.
I love your reviews! I have come across Inergy 1500W station after watching your reviews. (Brand new) which I have purchased. It came with 2 100W solar panel but not portable at all. as I was looking for portable solar panel, this SP 120 (Brand new) close out is selling for $120.00. What do you think about this panel that is still brand new close out at this price? Thank you so much for all your reviews. I don't know if this panel will be good after few years sitting on the shelf. Any thoughts on this will be greatly appreciated!! Thank you.
Question: First, Professor Hobo, thank you so much for all the great videos and info. I’ve learned so much from you and Will Prowse over the past couple of months. Also, thank you for reviewing this panel...finally. I own 4 of them, because I purchased 2 of the AC50S bundles and 1 EB150 bundle. I have 1 question, then info to share that I hope some will find useful. 1) Can you comment further on the “water resistance-ness” of the panel? I ask because I am preparing to take mine on my trimaran this summer where I expect it will get rained and splashed on, but not immersed. My setup - So for $200 more than the AC200P and 3 Solar Panel bundle, I have 4 panels for 480W vs 3 for 360W, 2500Wh vs 2000Wh and 3 lighter weight SolGens vs 1 heavy SolGen. On the negative side, I have max 1000W AC vs 2000W AC, so I can’t run the Betty Crocker Pizza Maker or my electric kettle. However, I can run my Duxtop Induction cook top and Instant Pot. On the plus side, I have quite some flexibility vs a single AC200P. I can connect my panels in series/parallel and charge the EP150 at 360W, which I believe is limited by the 10A max input of the EB150. I’ve done this multiple times already and it charges really fast. I can also connect the panels in 2 separate parallel pairs to charge the AC50Ss at 122W simultaneously, which is the limit of the AC50S. Again, they charge pretty fast. Plus I always have at least 1 SolGen that is not being charged, so that it can run my devices, like my BougeRV 53qt Car Fridge that can be powered 24x7 by any of the SolGens. And the SolGen(s) that are being charged can be moved near the solar panels. Except for the 1000W inverter limitation (which is not a showstopper for me so far), I’m quite happy with the flexibility and portability of the system.
Hi. I’ve bought a BougeRV fridge and a Bluetti AC200P based on your reviews and both have been great but after 2 weeks of traveling up the Pacific Coast, I think a portable solar panel could come in handy. MaxOak recommends using at least 3 of their solar panels to charge the AC200P which means that I’d have to spend another $1200 on top of the price of the AC200P to travel just 3-4 weeks out of a year. What I’d like to know is what’s the least number of portable panels of any brand I can get by with to help charge the AC200P when I’m parked for 2 or 3 days. The AC200P is only used to power my fridge when the van is parked. It doesn’t make sense for me to mount permanent panels on my roof when I only travel for 1 month out of the year and it also doesn’t make sense for me to lug around 3 solar panels in a minivan. Thanks for any suggestions!
Hobo newzealand got rocked by back to back Giant earthquakes. 7.2 n 8.2 within hrs. They have major POWER OUTAGES. HOPE THEY HAVE SoGens and BLUETTI panels 🤞
I purchased the Bluetti SP120 to power my BLDR 300, and it worked great. I've since sold my BLDR to a friend and purchased a Jackery 1000. Is it possible to power my new Jackery 1000 with this Bluetti solar panel?
Lol I just got my second bluetti 1500 for $999 on Amazon but it came with a package for $1399 I got the black bluetti and 2 120w portable panels from bluetti the same as this video means i got the second panel for free can not beat that hobo lamo
Free advice from a mechanic, don't ground to your brake lines like that. They are not designed for carrying current. Pick any bolt in the engine bay that goes to the body, or the frame, or even the engine block.
Haha 69. These are very expensive compared to like Dokio 300w panels. Dokio 300w panel is cheaper and puts out more power. Idk about when it is cloudy or rainy though. And it's kind of cheap material but these are definitely interesting!! Super excited for bluetti!!!
@@HOBOTECH I use PVC piping to create a stand for my Dokio 300w panel. I am trying to figure out a stand like Bluetti's stand for my Dokio. But I do agree. I'm not really happy with my Dokio and I'm looking for a more solid replacement. Thank you!
I purchased Bluetti Power station AC200P 2000Wh/2000W - looking at the Bluetti SP200 power panel. 2 questions? 1) How many panels should I purchase. 2) We may put the solar panels on the roof of the garage occasionally for better exposure (live in Oregon cloudy days & trees). The power cable is 9' long, is there a way to add an extension from this cable to extend to the power station on the ground? I'm glad I found your order site....I'm in favor of supporting the hard working citizen, not some rich $$$. Thanks
@HOBOTECH love your videos man. Got a real quick question for you, can you connect in series or parallel 1x SP120 and 1x SP200 or should all solar panels be the same wattage? Thanks a bunch! Also since the cells on the SP range of Bluetti solar panels are already connected in a series configuration, is it safe to connect two SP panels in parallel?
Hi Professor! I am learning a lot from your channel. I want to get a power station for emergency backup in my condo. I don't want a gas generator because I don't want to store gas inside my condo. I have no garage or outdoor storage. I am not sure how well solar panels will work where I live which is rainy Oregon. We are overcast for most of the year! I'm more apt to lose power in the winter months when the weather is awful. What do you recommend? Or is solar an exercise in futility for me? Also, in the winter where I am, I do get WIND... so what do you know about portable wind turbines? (Being in a condo, I can't install a big permanent wind turbine.) What do you suggest for cloudy, windy areas?

Question: First, Professor Hobo, thank you so much for all the great videos and info. I’ve learned so much from you and Will Prowse over the past couple of months. Also, thank you for reviewing this panel...finally. I own 4 of them, because I purchased 2 of the AC50S bundles and 1 EB150 bundle. I have 1 question, then info to share that I hope some will find useful. 1) Can you comment further on the “water resistance-ness” of the panel? I ask because I am preparing to take mine on my trimaran this summer where I expect it will get rained and splashed on, but not immersed. My setup - So for $200 more than the AC200P and 3 Solar Panel bundle, I have 4 panels for 480W vs 3 for 360W, 2500Wh vs 2000Wh and 3 lighter weight SolGens vs 1 heavy SolGen. On the negative side, I have max 1000W AC vs 2000W AC, so I can’t run the Betty Crocker Pizza Maker or my electric kettle. However, I can run my Duxtop Induction cook top and Instant Pot. On the plus side, I have quite some flexibility vs a single AC200P. I can connect my panels in series/parallel and charge the EP150 at 360W, which I believe is limited by the 10A max input of the EB150. I’ve done this multiple times already and it charges really fast. I can also connect the panels in 2 separate parallel pairs to charge the AC50Ss at 122W simultaneously, which is the limit of the AC50S. Again, they charge pretty fast. Plus I always have at least 1 SolGen that is not being charged, so that it can run my devices, like my BougeRV 53qt Car Fridge that can be powered 24x7 by any of the SolGens. And the SolGen(s) that are being charged can be moved near the solar panels. Except for the 1000W inverter limitation (which is not a showstopper for me so far), I’m quite happy with the flexibility and portability of the system.
You can get the panels very wet (think thunderstorm) but don't submerge.
@@HOBOTECH Perfect. Thank you so much.
Hi. I’ve bought a BougeRV fridge and a Bluetti AC200P based on your reviews and both have been great but after 2 weeks of traveling up the Pacific Coast, I think a portable solar panel could come in handy. MaxOak recommends using at least 3 of their solar panels to charge the AC200P which means that I’d have to spend another $1200 on top of the price of the AC200P to travel just 3-4 weeks out of a year. What I’d like to know is what’s the least number of portable panels of any brand I can get by with to help charge the AC200P when I’m parked for 2 or 3 days. The AC200P is only used to power my fridge when the van is parked. It doesn’t make sense for me to mount permanent panels on my roof when I only travel for 1 month out of the year and it also doesn’t make sense for me to lug around 3 solar panels in a minivan. Thanks for any suggestions!
2:40. The proof of hardwork, coupled with the company's need to improve. Fall over solar panels.
Hobo newzealand got rocked by back to back Giant earthquakes. 7.2 n 8.2 within hrs. They have major POWER OUTAGES. HOPE THEY HAVE SoGens and BLUETTI panels 🤞
The quakes were 700 miles offshore. Should have no effect on them.
Hobotech-Are you a Ham too? I noticed the antenna on the van
I've been called a ham but that antenna is for cell.
Why is no one showing how the cables go into the damn generator? My SP200 has 2 cables coming from it. I'm confused.
I purchased the Bluetti SP120 to power my BLDR 300, and it worked great. I've since sold my BLDR to a friend and purchased a Jackery 1000. Is it possible to power my new Jackery 1000 with this Bluetti solar panel?
How can I charge electric 24 volt wheel chair while she is riding on it so she doesn't have to stop and look for outlets .
I'm looking for a good portable to charge my refrigerator and a good solar panel. Saver budget. Any recommendations.
Thanks.
what is the expected lifespan? What would be a simplified measure of lifespan given varying dynamics like usage hours, sun intensity etc
Lol I just got my second bluetti 1500 for $999 on Amazon but it came with a package for $1399 I got the black bluetti and 2 120w portable panels from bluetti the same as this video means i got the second panel for free can not beat that hobo lamo
Ok, show me how to set it
Free advice from a mechanic, don't ground to your brake lines like that. They are not designed for carrying current. Pick any bolt in the engine bay that goes to the body, or the frame, or even the engine block.
3:47. Looks like them holes on the sides are for bearing it down? That's a situation in itself, right there.
Haha 69. These are very expensive compared to like Dokio 300w panels.
Dokio 300w panel is cheaper and puts out more power. Idk about when it is cloudy or rainy though. And it's kind of cheap material but these are definitely interesting!! Super excited for bluetti!!!
Dokio are garbage though. I interviewed a guy in Quartzsite that had 1200w of them. Couldn't even get them to stand upright. YGWYPF.
@@HOBOTECH I use PVC piping to create a stand for my Dokio 300w panel. I am trying to figure out a stand like Bluetti's stand for my Dokio.
But I do agree. I'm not really happy with my Dokio and I'm looking for a more solid replacement.
Thank you!
You say it worked flawlessly rain, shine or wind. Why then does Bluetti say not to expose to rain?
The Jeff Bezos shade, I love it 😆
Anyone know the cable to connect to a dc hybrid gel battery?! Thanks for the video!!
cadmium-air, rechargeable, btw, electron affinities of nickel = 1.157V, cadmium = -0.7v, gold = 2.308v
cadmium-platinum-air should be verrry nice
i like my tomato-pasta
bluetti sp120 versus pv120, waht is the difference?
I went to your page because I was looking for te cables to the solar panel to a AC180 Bluetti. Can you point me in the right direction?
I purchased Bluetti Power station AC200P 2000Wh/2000W - looking at the Bluetti SP200 power panel. 2 questions? 1) How many panels should I purchase. 2) We may put the solar panels on the roof of the garage occasionally for better exposure (live in Oregon cloudy days & trees). The power cable is 9' long, is there a way to add an extension from this cable to extend to the power station on the ground? I'm glad I found your order site....I'm in favor of supporting the hard working citizen, not some rich $$$. Thanks
Even though they never answer your questions.........
100 dollars off...That works!!
1:15. We do have to note that you are in Arizona, where the sun is beaming.
Wow looks like a great accessory! 😍
Another great review!
The canvas case holds the heat in and makes it less efficient.
Hey Professor, have you ever made a DIY solar generator? Just curious.
@HOBOTECH love your videos man. Got a real quick question for you, can you connect in series or parallel 1x SP120 and 1x SP200 or should all solar panels be the same wattage? Thanks a bunch!
Also since the cells on the SP range of Bluetti solar panels are already connected in a series configuration, is it safe to connect two SP panels in parallel?
can it work in cloudy days. how well does it work? we have lots of cloudy days in northwest pacific coast>
No way this guy hasn't done stand-up comedy somewhere.
If this UA-cam gig doesn't pan out he could get a job as an electrician or something. 😜
Hi Professor! I am learning a lot from your channel. I want to get a power station for emergency backup in my condo. I don't want a gas generator because I don't want to store gas inside my condo. I have no garage or outdoor storage. I am not sure how well solar panels will work where I live which is rainy Oregon. We are overcast for most of the year! I'm more apt to lose power in the winter months when the weather is awful. What do you recommend? Or is solar an exercise in futility for me? Also, in the winter where I am, I do get WIND... so what do you know about portable wind turbines? (Being in a condo, I can't install a big permanent wind turbine.) What do you suggest for cloudy, windy areas?
any idea when Bluetti will have their new 200w panel in stock?
Next month.
